Voters in Stockbridge, Massachusetts went to the polls for the annual town election this week.

Incumbent Gary Johnston easily carried the vote for town moderator, while Gary Pitney and Carl Sprague won the four-way race for planning board. Mark Faber beat Hugh Page in the race for Tree Warden.

There were four uncontested races. Winners included Gary Pitney for assessor, Charlie Kenny for board of health, Don Schneyer for water and sewer commission, and James Welch for housing authority.
